Before 'Caught Stealing,' Austin Butler Was a Scene Stealer in Ari Aster's Neo-Western With Pedro Pascal

Following the success of 2022’s Elvis, Austin Butlerwas officially stamped one of the biggest movie stars of his generation. With this recognition—and the Oscar nomination that came along with it—he could have started grabbing every leading role attached to a big budget in sight, but Butler went a different route. Since his breakthrough, he has prioritized picking interesting scripts and roles that challenge him as an actor—often ones that subvert or cleverly play off of his matinée idol good looks and movie star persona.
